The SELF apprehension...!!!

-

It happened 2 days ago! This guy, my mother's son-in-law; opened my shelf and laughed straight for 10 minutes.
I wondered what was so funny in there? Was that my overly arranged clothes or properly settled jewelry boxes? After pondering for a while and avoiding my yearn to kick him hard between butts, I approached him and saw him reading my 'to do list'. All my anger was then my embarrassment. He started reading my list out loud and crossed almost everything out of it. 'You don't do any of this! Hahahahah...'

 He was right. I'm not the girl I used to be. I knew he didn't mean to embarrass me or hurt my feelings but he sure dust away the dirt from my mirror. I used to be so ambitious, active and thrilled about my list. Even when I listed why should I get married, top on that was, 'Once I'll be done with it, I'll focus on my goals, otherwise my parents will keep haunting me every other day.' Look at me now, I don't write, I don't listen music, I don't even do yoga anymore. 
My To Do List
I made this list with proud and pasted it in a place, where I spend most my time staring at, 'My shelf'. Everything in here is either something I really adore or something which leads me to my short/long term goals. Yes goals...not goal. After he was done, I looked at my list and found one very important thing was missing. "Don't let anyone else remind you of this list, i.e. don't forget yourself." 

 Ever since I'm married, obviously things have changed. I have twice the people to take care of, I have a family, not room mates; a home not PG; I have to take care of bills, grocery and fitness of my family. And I have no problem doing all this. Cause now I have double the people who love and care about me. May be this happens to every girl.
Yes I do miss time I had for myself. These 24 hours will remain 24 hours, no super power can change them. But I found ways to make some 'ME' time. Now I listen music, while I'm cooking, I traverse youtube on my way to office. Work out while cleaning and write when my hubby is sleeping ;) BTW he has no idea he is part of this post :p One more thing, I will never let anyone else laugh at me or my list. If required I'll stand in front of mirror, laugh at myself and get going! :D

Chocolate and Me...

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 53 ; the fifty-third edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. In association with ​Soulmates: Love without ownership by Vinit K Bansal . To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton . One fine morning, when the sun was bright; I was craving for chocolate, straight from night. I ran to my mother, jumped and gave her kiss, She gave me my chocolate as she promised. I was holding it tight, like the rat in eagle’s claw, Enjoying it thoroughly which my brother had saw. He came with a report card, pretending to whine, Said he’ll give me a bigger one, if I got it signed. I made my way toward the terrace for solace, After giving him my best ‘Do you think I’m stupid face’? I wave a pretentious hello to my despicable neighbor, Smiling at him, is itself a big favor. Besides failing a hundred times, he offered this time straight, ‘I’ll shower you w

Why Coherent Rambling...huh?

  After eight long years since I started this blog in 2012, a pal called to inform me that my blog was the first result when she googled " coherent rambling. " I should be thrilled, correct? Well, it didn't surprise me. There's only my blog named with these words. I already knew it's unique (considerably). I created it. Allow me to explain why. In 2012, this blog had a different name, which I'm not going to tell. Cause I was in college, I didn't put much thought into it and opted for two words I heard most. Still not telling you. Then one day, I can't recall the day or even the year, my conscience rose and laughed at me for naming the blog so naively. Yeah, still not telling. Anyways, I sat down to find a new name. But how? or where? or what should I look? Those days I was reading a lot and was fascinated with oxymorons. They sound morons but are clever and amusing. Oxymorons are the group of contradicting or opposite words used together. Like Open sec
